Team VolleyChick 2008




I am originally from Michigan and have been living in New Jersey for 2 ˝ years. I have been playing volleyball since 7th grade, but I really only became exposed to beach last summer. It's been love ever since! I have also coached volleyball at many different levels, from 7th grade to my current position as the assistant at Rutgers University in Camden.
